Righteous Gelato

Who We Are

We are not just a gelato company. We are far more than that.

This journey started 11 years ago with one tiny batch freezer and a pursuit to make the world awesome. Today, nothing has changed except for a braver vision to change the world.

Our Righteous mission is to have a tangible impact on how companies look how they act, the way they treat their people and what we all deserve in terms of quality and integrity as consumers. The vision has always been built on forging strong relationships, empowering our people, innovation, forward thinking, and legendary customer experience backed by the best quality products possible. 

We are, and always have been, people first, and profits second. We think differently, act differently and challenge others to be the change they want to see in the world—we just happen to do it by making gelato. Enriching people’s lives, one tiny spoonful at a time. Our Story

Nothing worth having comes easy.

In 2009, in the midst of a recession, James acquired a single scoop shop with only $1800 to his name. Days before he was set to open, the store was gutted by a fire. With the lease renewing just six months later, it was impossible to continue the business as it was, so James started everything over—including what was possible for the company. Over the next six months, he found a garage to make gelato in, then moved to a 100-foot commissary space to begin wholesale and make the first few batches of what would one day become Righteous Gelato. He trusted that if he could be in the hearts and minds of people, maybe one day they would welcome our gelato into their homes.
